a FALSE STATEMENT.
Hutchinson News.

Hutchinson News.
Mayor Neely, of Leavenworth, made s
Democratic speech In that city on Monday
night, in which he said: Prohibition IL
Kansas has contributed more to build up
Kansas City than any other influence, and
it has worked ruin and devastation to
Wichita and other Kansas towns" A
long, loud and resonant chuckle will 90 up
from wichita and other Kansas towns
when this statement is read. In the face
of the fact that nearly every town and city
of Kansas has more than doubled Its popu.
lation since the prohibitory law has been
put In force, and that the past year has
been one of unparalleled prosperity In
Kansas towns, the mayors statement seems
to be little unfortunate for the cause for
which he was pleading.
The mayor asserted that prohibition had
been great injury to Leavenworth 1t is
not prohibition that has injured Leaven-
worth, but the quarrellng of the people of
that city. The question of prohibition was
only one Of the bones Of contention and
over 1t the people have snapped and snarled
continuously, leaving the great interests OF
the town to take care OF themselves. Had
they devoted half the energy to buildingIup
their city that they have to defeating the
law and maligning each 9th er,
Leavenworth would not now be compelled
to take second place among the cities Of
the state.
In the other cities of the state prohibition
has cut but llttN figure. Citizens differ
honestly as to the propriety of strict en-
forcement of the law, but they have not
allowed these differences to iDjure their
towns. They have pulled together har-
and the consequence is that the
wonderful growth of Kansas towns is
known and talked Of throughout the land

will sail at tha. time; that he will probably
pass the winter in the Mediterranean, and
may visit Egypt; that the prices Of stocks
will probably advance when he goes away,
as they usually do, because, between con-
flicting opinions as to his intentions, the
natural strength OF the market is over
looked. He declared that the country Is
growing in wealth and that speculation is
becoming subordinate to buying for invest
ment.
Speaking of the discontinuance of the
suits begun against him and Russell Sage

glimpse into the Office of The leading daily

A REFORMER.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
By this time mean to say that I have
left the Democratic ranks to join that OF
the most progressive party on this cont.
nent, the Republican party. l have en-.
deavored to be a Christian, but see that II
Is utterly impossible to. be SO and be q
Democrat at the same time I remained
with the party long enough to find out that
there was no prosperity In it for me. In
fact my clothes were always seedy like all
those Of my class with whom l voted and
associated; hence my reformation. More,
i was classed with the anarchist, strikers
and rioters. Now, I saw Patsy's little
speech In the Beacon God knows he has
been more than six months putting 1t to-
gether, and to those who may have wasted
time In reading it knows the audience who
listened to 1t all told was not over forty or
fifty at the best. 1t sounds louder
In the paper than 1t did at the
little room In which he talked.

when we elected Grover that every good

found that all promises made by the Demo
cratic party fell through. No, shall en-
deavor to vote with the saving party hence
forth, and can begin with no better can
didates than those on the Republican ticket
In this city, each of whom have wide

EXCUSABLE GREENNESS.

The display Of such ignorance can harm
only one and him only by making himself

as an object Of commiseration. MIR. Smith
will know more, at least about Kansas,
after he has resided long enough in the
state 70 be entitled to vote. 1t has been so
long since Leavenworth was leading city
In Kansas, In any sense, that the memory
of none except the man who loaded the
Times On to those eastern boys, can en-
compass 1t. Leavenworth has been led by
sleepy Topeka for years.
